Shrinkehande graph?

49 Views Asked by At

Shrinkhande graph is a graph which is a (16,6,2,2) strongly regular graph. It's well-known that it's a Cayley graph on group $Z_4\times Z_4$ with Cayley set $S=\{ ±(0,1),±(1,1),±(1,0)\}$. I'd like to know if we can define Cayley graph, associated to Shrinkhande graph on group $Z_2^4$. In fact I'm looking for the Cayley set. Besides I know this Cayley graph exists.

There is a list of the 23 Cayley graphs for $\mathbb{Z}^4$ at http://staffhome.ecm.uwa.edu.au/~00013890/. According to sage, in my hands, none of these graphs is isomorphic to the Shrikande graph.

Here is some magma code you can run to find all the regular subgroups of the automorphism group (and thus find all the groups on which it is Cayley):


G:=DirectProduct(CyclicGroup(4),CyclicGroup(4)); H:=sub< G|G.1,G.2,G.1*G.2>; Gamma:=CayleyGraph(H:Directed:=false,Labelled:=false); A:=AutomorphismGroup(Gamma); for S in Subgroups(A:IsRegular) do IdentifyGroup(S`subgroup); end for;


You can run this here: http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/calc/ and the output is: <16, 2> <16, 11> <16, 6> <16, 6> <16, 8> <16, 8>

We can then check say here: https://people.maths.bris.ac.uk/~matyd/GroupNames/index.html to find out what the groups are: $C_4^2$, $SD_{16}$, $C_2\times D_4$, and $M_4(2)$.
